My nose is quite wide and flat at the bottom. I mostly want to make my nose less wide. I hope to remove the tip or ball at the end of my nose. Would that help the sides stand taller and look less wide? What procedures would be best and if possible are there nonsurgical methods? Thanks

Answer: Yes, there are many options
There are many options, including cartilage grafts, fascia-cartilage grafts, implants and injections. In general injections can be used to make the nose taller, but they are limited in their effect and the safest ones dissolve after 6 yo 9 months (Juvederm, Restylane.) Surgery works well and usually I prefer to build up the nose with natural tissue, usualy a cartilage-fascia graft.

Answer: Augmentation rhinoplasty
Based on your photos it appears that you have an underprojected (flat) bridge and will benefit from augmentation rhinoplasty - ideally with rib cartilage graft
